I finally struck Silver at the old school today. I have pulled a bunch of Wheat pennies from this site along with a war nickel and a Buffalo nickel last week, but today I pulled a Silver Quarter 1943. And of course just to keep my feet on the ground and kill my joyful day, don't you know I put a nice groove into the neck of good old George with my digger! But none the less it's good silver. I also pulled 4 more Wheats 1926, 48, 57 and a no date. I am gonna try and clean this one up a little more to try and get a date.

But there you have it finally my 1st true Silver, and a quarter no less!! Enjoy the pics!!

Way to go!! Theres probably more there, go over the same area from a different direction. Good job. Hot peroxide bath might get you that date :wink: If that don't do it try some vinegar and an old tooth brush for a few minutes. Anyway good job on the silver and the wheats, how old is the school? HH
